Like a few other tPFers who purchased an armatura or copper/rame piece, I was amazed how much it felt like fabric or silk. I even asked the SA if it was leather and I kind of got an unconvincing answer, especially why if it's a fancy leather treatment it was actually priced less than the same style in nappa.... ?? (at least the armatura piece I got at a boutique was - but online prices look the same)
Now I see S/S09 wallet/veneta rame pieces just posted on BV.com are described as "intreciatto grosgrain" but more expensive pieces are called "nappa rame" .... so are the wallets and venetas actual grosgrain, or leather with grosgrain-"effect"? Anyone know for certain?
The pieces are still pretty but I'm not thrilled at the idea of having purchased a $600 "silk" wallet!!
